Lovers' quarrels are the renewal of love.
Original text (Latin)
Original text (Latin)
There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.
It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms.
Do you fear to trust the word of a man, whose honesty you have seen in business?
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
